Kevin, even if you missed this, you don’t have to be in the tourney to review the scripts. You’ll garner good will if you do. Also, multiple peeps here would happily return the favor. Myself included. I’ll even score it for you as if it were in, just to give you the flavor of how it goes. Gotta have thick skin though. This place isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s about getting better, not false praise. Also, watch for the next challenge. They’re a hell of a lot of fun, and good for improving.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll def check out the entrants. I’ve read a lot of comments on some scripts so I agree it’s not for the faint of heart.  It makes since. To get your story made or at least a deal,you gotta be the best to beat the best.  If they let me enter on the 3rd, I’ll make sure to know where to send and won’t wait till the last second.

I didn’t realize I had to register. I asked if could I participate even tho I wasn’t in round 1.  Someone said yes but my script will not be in the competition  side of things.  Which is fine. I hurried to get it written and couldn’t figure out how to upload . I’m using FD mobile on my phone until I get me a new laptop. It started glitching. I finally got it sent to Don few minutes after midnight asking he could turn it in to who uploads the scripts cause I didn’t know how or who.  It’s not up so I’m assuming it won’t be. Which is fine rules are rules. Plus after I went back and looked I doubt anyone would read it due to so many simple errors.   I think I had a decent story tho.

Thanks again for the advice ! Will definitely be checking out some stories.

As reviewers it is your job to put yourself in the shoes of the recipient. So, if the script is aimed at children, do not judge it by your own humour, instead ask yourself, would the recipient find this funny?

The recipient for most of these then must be people who love boring, unimaginative and unfunny scripts because that’s pretty much all I’m reading so far. And I’m including mine in that bunch.

So if you're looking at these scripts through the eyes of someone who enjoys boring, unfunny stuff, does that mean all the scripts will be getting top marks from you?

I’m thinking of that scene from “A Christmas Story” where Ralphie has turned in his drab, boring, theme paper, and in his daydreams he envisions the teacher gushing over the poorly written paper and then writing “A++++++++++++++++++++” on the chalkboard while the other students hoist him on their shoulders.

That’s how I like to think of reviewers reading my crap. But then, like Ralphie, I’m quickly brought back to reality by the myriad of reviews.  

Will be out of the loop for a few days as heading to my hometown in Victoria for my dads 80th on Sat    Obviously I’ll have net but will be busy lol   Look forward to writing my Rd 3 script on the plane home on Monday lol
